Study note
Setting — God commands Moses and the Israelites during the Passover institution, immediately after detailing the roasting of the lamb.
The words — תוֹתִירוּ (to.Ti.ru) means "you will leave over," and בֹּ֑קֶר (Bo.ker) means "morning."
The thread — The text connects this rule to Exodus 23:18, Exodus 34:25, and Exodus 29:34.
Why it lands — The text commands immediate consumption or burning of leftovers to prevent hoarding or ritual neglect, requiring strict obedience to the meal's timing.

The Hebrew words
King James Version
And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; and that which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire.
